I love watching a good doc. Interesting, enlightening and often stimulating on a rudimentary level. Being informed and educated makes us all better. Sometimes Docs are closer to propaganda than documenting realities. Sometimes they are mocking(Mockumentary) the documentaries. It's nice to see vice.com 's documentaries becoming so well known all over the world. It seems we're in a period right now where Docs are very popular!
Grizzly Man, is still my all time favorite. The man of the subject matter is called crazy by many but I genuinely ask myself if I really would act very differently had I spend so much time in isolation. Obviously it takes a special person to choose that path.
It's also a strange documentary from the perspective of a portrait doc. As this is 1300 hundred hours of edited material after he died. I'm not very familiar with Herzog, but he seems like a smart dude in my book. I really love this film. The real star of the film is all the crazy people around the main character.
Murderball, is one of those stories that seem almost too fictional to be true. It's all so perfect. Besides venturing into the origins of how a bunch of wheelchair bound guys became disabled, it deals with them finding a sport they can do and still be satisfied with. And on a parallel storyline it follows their path to the handicapped Olympics while facing off against their arch rivals team Canada lead by an American flip flopper coach who left as team coach of the American team in a dispute. It's major drama, but it's awesome.
